ERP software is a necessity for professional business people, especially in today's digital era. It is absolutely impossible for a business person to only rely on his memory when managing his business.
Moreover, if the business falls into the small, medium or large business category, it is very mandatory to use ERP software.
The reason is, usually these 3 types of business use quite a lot of resources, such as raw materials, human resources, marketing, all of which need to be recorded neatly so that it is easy to calculate business profits.
So what is the actual importance of this ERP software?
Get to know the features of ERP software
ERP (enterprise resource planning) software is software that contains a number of features that are integrated with each other. But don't get me wrong, there are actually many types of ERP software depending on what will be managed digitally.

A simple example, if you want to manage sales transactions for a product, of course you need ERP software whose features are specifically related to marketing. These features include, for example, product stock available, product price, product variants available.
The Tokopedia, Shoppee, Bukalapak applications are examples that we can see.
Even if you want to manage your workforce, you need ERP software whose features are related to employee absenteeism, their education level, and length of work.
If it is for production planning, the ERP software needed must provide features on the type of raw materials used, how much is in stock, what is the price of raw materials, how many products are made.
So the point here is that ERP software is created for the various needs of business people in managing their business, such as:
1. Asset management
2. Company finances
3. Labor
4. Quality control
5. Inventory management
If the business is new on a micro scale, maybe you don't really need software like this. However, if the business is micro, medium and large scale, it is different, you need to consider immediately using an ERP software application.
Types of ERP software
If you observe, there is a lot of ERP software already circulating on the market, and is even used by many leading companies in the world, including in Indonesia. An example of that software is
1. NetSuite ERP
2. Gamatehcno ERP solution
3. Sage Intact
4. Bright Pearl
5. Oddo ERP
These five ERP software are only a small part that I can give examples from hundreds of other ERP software.
A question arises in our minds, is there an impact if we use software on the efficiency of business financial management?
Quoting from the journal of industrial and monetary trade volume 11 of 2023, the results of research by Yayuk Sulistiyowati from Tribhuwana Tunggadewi University, it was found that there is a significant influence from the use of accounting software technology on the efficiency of financial management of micro, small and medium enterprises in the city of Malang.
So, as much as possible, it is highly recommended that business people always think about making their business more efficient in order to achieve maximum profit targets. One way is to use ERP software which I reviewed previously.
